| Legal Defense |
|
The Fraternal Order of Police Legal Defense Plan, Inc. was created by the National FOP. This self-funded plan is available to eligible FOP groups and individual members to cover law enforcement exposures, including:
Administrative, civil and criminal legal coverage: The Legal Defense Plan pays for legal defense of certain administrative, civil and criminal proceedings against plan participants. Legal defense coverage has become a necessity as the frequency and costs of allegations against peace officers continue to rise.
H.R. 218 coverage: Legal defense coverage is provided to FOP active and retired officers for civil or criminal claims associated with H.R. 218. The annual coverage limit is $25,000 at a cost of $50 per participant. If you are currently a FOP Legal Defense Plan participant, coverage for H.R. 218 is automatically included.
